Hi Francisco

I tried:

emerge -va emerge -av ati-drivers

but got this error:

!!! ERROR: x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.32.5 failed.
Call stack:
  ebuild.sh, line 1614:   Called dyn_compile
  ebuild.sh, line 971:   Called qa_call 'src_compile'
  environment, line 4097:   Called src_compile
  ati-drivers-8.32.5.ebuild, line 157:   Called linux-mod_src_compile
  linux-mod.eclass, line 516:   Called die

!!! Unable to make  GCC_VER_MAJ=4 KVER=2.6.20-gentoo-r7
KDIR=/usr/src/linux kmod_build.
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call
stack if relevant.
!!! A complete build log is located at
'/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.32.5/temp/build.log'.

Any hint on what could be the problem?
